Deuteronomy 4:27-29

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ The Lord will scatter you among the peoples; only a few of you will be left among the nations where the Lord will lead you. ²⁸ There you will serve other gods made by human hands, objects of wood and stone that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. ²⁹ From there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find him if you search after him with all your heart and soul.
